Florida offers lush landscapes, infinite sunshine, and a chance for renewal. But its footing as a place of refuge and joy continues to shift as easily as its miles of sandy shoreline. 

Florida: Poetry and Prose

by Glenn Erick Miller

Genre: Poetry, Fiction

Florida is a land of extremes. Depending on the perspective, it can be seen as either beacon or demon. It is an epicenter of dreams, both wonderful and broken. It offers lush landscapes, infinite sunshine, and a chance for renewal. But its footing as a place of refuge and joy continues to shift as easily as its miles of sandy shoreline.

Florida: Poetry and Prose explores our complicated relationship with place. This love story serves as the backdrop for observations on identity, family, and the desperate attempt to safeguard memories against the march of time. The poems speak to the longing for human connection and the promise of permanency. At the same time, they revel in satire and the irony of setting down roots in a paradise that may soon be under water.

The collection is anchored by a pair of short stories which pit tragedy-tested love against the stark realities of nature and an increasingly uncertain world.

Maria Catalina Egan

4.0 out of 5 stars Loved the bilingual aspects and illustrations.

Reviewed in the United States on March 7, 2024

This is a great resource to help kids with bilingual interests in French and English. I liked how the narrative in both languages was always on the same page. It’s sophisticated for older kids and kids with a tangible knowledge of both languages to expand their vocabulary in either English or French.
I loved how the illustrations were compatible with the narrative.
